Dubai
based United Arab Emirates airline, Emirates Airlines, is carrying out
feasibility studies to decide on possible entry into the Mozambican market, an
official source said on Monday.
“Commercial
feasibility studies are in progress and the teams in charge of preparing them
will present their conclusions soon so that decisions can be made,” Khalid
Shohail, UAE Ambassador to Mozambique said, quoted today by the daily Noticias.
The
interest of the flagship company in the United Arab Emirates was announced in
November 2017, as a result of a linkage agreement signed with its sister
airline Linhas Aereas de Moçambique (LAM).
At
the time, the Emirates expressed its ambition to invest in emerging markets on
the African continent, including Mozambique.
The
air link between the United Arab Emirates and Mozambique would be part of a
package of “projects in perspective” between the two parties, which include
other areas of partnership, with emphasis on mining, agriculture, construction
and tourism, said at the time the Consul of Mozambique in Dubai, José Bernardo.Among
the top 10 airlines worldwide, Emirates was founded in 1985 with two aircraft
and currently flies to 158 destinations in 86 countries.
